Quiet and A Bit Cheaper

I really wanted something cheaper than 9th street. I liked this area because it has 2 dog parks and dog washing room. As well as a car washing area as well. It's close to the 15/501 highway that takes you straight to Fuqua. It takes me 5-7 minutes to get to science drive garage.

Comfortable, Accesible, and family oriented

Great place for those who come with family and want a more peaceful area to live. Socializing is a pain-point (far away from 9th Street area), but you are in a more rural scenario.

Great place to live with families.

The house has been great, although with a few minor defects that have been solved in the meantime, but if you have a family, this is the place you should live, plenty of open space and playgrounds.

Reviewed by Duke Law Student living at Garrett West
I have not been through the neighborhood very much, but from what I have seen, the residential side of Garrett Road (west of the Garrett Road / Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd intersection) is quiet and safe. The other side of the intersection however - and even the strip mall on the corner across from the Toyota dealership - is a bit rougher and more commercial of an area.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Garrett West
The location is right of US Highway 15 501. There are numerous shopping options located off of this road. The location also provides easy access to both Durham and Chapel Hill as well as Interstate 40. Also, the trails of Duke Forest are located just west of the property. All of these are positives. The negatives would be that a car is basically required to get anywhere.
Reviewed by Duke Law Student living at Garrett West
There's nothing special nearby, you're kind of isolated, and have to drive to go anywhere fun. But, it's a safe residential neighborhood which is personally what I care about.
Reviewed by Duke Law Student living at Garrett West
Great location between Durham and Chapel Hill. About a 10 min drive to school. Not gated and open air entry ways, so does not feel the most secure at times, but have not had any issues.
Reviewed by Duke Law Student living at Garrett West
It’s very quiet; though, there have been car break ins at GW and other apartments in the area.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 501 Estates
This is a very nice neighborhood,. There are many stores close by (driving distance), grocery store, gas station, restaurants, home depot, bed bath and beyond, target, etc., that make it convenient.

There are also 3 schools nearby, less than 5 minutes drive.
Reviewed by Duke Med Student living at Garrett West
There's a Sam's and Super Target and Harris Teeter within 5min. Trader Joe's is 10-15min down 15-501, and the med school is about 10-12min away as well. More suburban with a running trail within a 2min run.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Garrett West
The neighborhood has a lot of traffic, but this community is relatively private, and surrounded by trees, so much of the neighborhood's effects are mitigated.
